The Ashes 2025 LIVE: Australia vs England, second Test, Brisbane

Aus 0-0
Gus Atkinson a bit more on the money than Jofra Archer.
There's a half-hearted appeal after he strikes Jake Weatherald on the pad with his first delivery before a couple beat the bat.
Weatherald, another customer at Ned Flanders' Leftorium, feels bat on ball with a nudge into the leg side but there's not run.
A maiden to start from Atkinson.
Aus 0-0
Penultimate delivery of the over and Jofra Archer, from the round wicket, brings the bat into play and forces Travis Head to defend.
A maiden start from Archer, albeit not a particularly threatening one.

I think Nathan Lyon was very reserved. If I came out and said I'm absolutely filthy, it's not that strong. I think he was a lot more than filthy but was reserved with his comments. I don't mind players reacting like that, you're allowed to be disappointed. It would be worse if he cane out and said that that he didn't want to play anyway.

Nathan Lyon has described his mood as 'absolutely filthy'. He does say that he's not the first player to miss a Test match and he won't be the last but he knows what role he can play.
Post
A little bit of chat on Test Match Special about whether Australia should have picked Nathan Lyon, and whether they will come to regret that decision.
Lyon himself said he felt "absolutely filthy" after being left out of side for the first time in a home Test since 2012.

Marnus Labuschagne has such good hands. That was hit hard by Jofra Archer, it went quickly and he's pulled off a really good catch indeed there. With the pink ball it's usually quite hard to see but Labuschagne, dived full length to take a really good catch.
Joe Root, an outstanding innings. He stands head and shoulders above all the other batters.
WICKET
Archer c Labuschagne b Doggett 38 (Eng 334)
A superb catch from Marnus Labuschagne in the deep.
Jofra Archer takes on a short delivery from Brendan Doggett and the ball looks to be heading to the boundary at pace despite Archer not striking it completely cleanly.
However, Labuschagne makes up ground superbly and then dives full length in front of himself to grab the catch with the ball dying on him.
England all out for 334.
